Maybe use /usr/bin/wget instead of wget? Any email from crond? How about
a simple command like touch file?

Running the wget command from the command line performs the action
properly, but it doesn't seem to be happening every five minutes as it's
supposed to. I've double checked my crontab command and verified that
crond is running (with ps) but it doesn't seem to be working.
